Let xi(1i10) be ten observations of a random variable  X. If i=110xip=3 and i=110xip2=9, where

0pR, then the standard deviation of these observations is

a
45
b
35
c
910
d
710

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Let σX be the standard deviation. Then,σX2=110Σxi−p2−110Σxi−p2=910−3102=81100⇒ σx=910It follows from the above discussion that in case of individual observations, variance/ standard deviation may be computed by applying any of the above three formulas. In order to calculate the variance when deviations are taken from the actual mean, we may use the following algorithm.
